My husband and I were talking about this very thing (Vera Snobbery) yesterday - he said that hundreds of other women will be walking around with Veras exactly alike, but I'm the only woman in the entire world carrying a purse like mine! Sometimes he really does get me!!! Earlier in the day I had gone into a fabric store and the sales associate started to tell me where different things were located. Then she stopped and said, "I don't need to tell you, you've been here before...I recognize your purse!"
